It is with our deepest gratitude that we post these testimonials from our new owners who have aquired a Show Den dog or puppy. Thank you for opening your hearts and your homes and loving our dogs as much as we love them.

Karen,

Slider is such a great dog! Everyone loves him! He his doing great with training and more importantly Brett loves him! Slider is patient with Brett and his Autism. We start obedience training tomorrow. Slider is such a fast learner I know he will do great. He is growing so fast! I think he will be as big as his dad Tommy:)  Thank you again for such a wonderful addition to our family!

Dear Karen,

My name is Jill and I have been researching Labrador breeders for the
past few months. I lost my 14 year old Chocolate Labrador 2 1/2 years ago.
As with most dog owners after their pet passes they replace them quickly. I
am not like most dog owners. My heart was broken & I didn't want to take on
a new puppy unless I knew without a doubt that my heart was open to love a
new dog. I have been looking for a specific look and temperament with my
next Labrador.  Finding "Chip" was dumb luck! He was an English bred
Labrador with many show champions in his pedigree. I have searched the
country for a specific look in a Labrador. My heart was set on a chocolate
until I came across your website. I fell in love with the look of your labs
& the detail in which you described your breeding program. My husband & two
daughters, Peyton (8) & Laney(7) live in Stevenson Ranch California. I am a
stay at home mom with a large yard & pool. We had a reef built into our
pool so "Chip" could get in and out of the pool as he aged. I don't believe
that animals should be left outside to become after thoughts for the
family. I know it is very important that children have a dog & companion in
their lives. I am also aware that properly training your pet is an
investment you must make. I trained "Chip" with the help of a professional
dog trainer who came twice a week and gave me the tools to train & praise
my dog. I would love to speak with you regarding a future litter after the
first of the year. If you have planned litters for 2012 I would be very interested.


Sincerely,

Jill

Hi Karen,

Dixie is a wonderful puppy- very calm, quite smart, and amazingly perceptive. Belle took to her immediately and they have become inseparable buddies. I take both of them for a short walk together in the morning and evening, and she is becoming comfortable swimming in the pool.  Although she is only 10 weeks old today, it feels like she has been part of the family much longer. Tomorrow I will be taking her to our vet’s Puppy Kindergarden- a 7 week class for socializing and teaching them all the basics. We love her so much.  I will send more pictures soon.

Best regards, Marsha

Hi Karen,

We did make it back safely Friday night. She was WONDERFUL in the car, and Mike joked that she was more tolerant of the 8 hr drive than I was, lol. We've named our little girl, Mia, and have had so much fun with her these past few days. She constantly keeps us laughing. She is also picking up basic commands SO quickly, she is such a smart dog! We absolutely love her. We really enjoyed meeting you and Kathy, I hope you'll let us know if you're ever in Tallahassee! I'll attach a couple of Mia's latest pictures! She is too photogenic!! =c) Although you will probably notice her nose looks spotted, that's just water, she still loves playing IN, rather than drinking from, her water bowl, lol.  Hope the rest of the puppies got off to their new homes well.

Hi Karen:

Peaches is great!  She is going potty in the yard and did not cry last night, sleeping next to her new sister, Pinkie.  We bought a playpen and while she prefers to be free, she is OK with it. Besides loving her food and treats, she loves to stay inside the house. You did an excellent job because she really is getting the hang of the potty training, comes when we call her and is very socialized.

Thanks for all your support.

Hey Karen, 

Well we all made it home safely, it took us about 41/2hrs. with stopping and resting. The puppy did great! We love him! He is bringing so much joy to our home. He is so so so cute! We love him and can't take our eyes off of him, he is bringing us so much joy. He is doing great-he loves my cold floors!

We have decided to name him Max and he is responding to his new name along with puppy.

We will keep you all posted on his progress-he is such a blessing to us! Thank you for everything.

Dear Karen,

First of all, let me start by saying that I am so in love with her.  She throws her paws around my neck and kisses my lips and I am in Heaven.  She is a wonderful girl.  Luna and Lilly didn't fit her. Barry decided we should pay tribute to Rocky and so we named her after her father - Roxy. We are doing well with the house training-she doesn't like the grass too much. Prefers the patio, but I will have the grass cut today and maybe that will be more to her liking.  We had our vet check up this morning and she was a star. We showed Dr Dee Rocky's photos and he couldn't get over how gorgeous he and his daughter are. 

All the best-

Robin

Hey Karen,

Hope you guys are doing well. Mia is fantastic, adorable and we couldn’t love her more!! Here are some new photos! This is not only one of my favorite ‘Mia’ shots, but one of my favorite ‘Labrador’ shots, what gorgeous dogs you breed!!

Lindsey

Hi Karen,
 
Yesterday I indicated that I would like to be placed on the list for a female puppy out of Hailey’s litter due in early April. Based on what I have seen on your website, I am very excited about the possibility of getting one of your puppies.  I am willing to wait until June for the right puppy. Thank you for your time and patience. 
 
Marsha
 
PS: There are so many lab breeders on the internet, but so many of their websites either read like used car salesmen or just don’t provide any information. You have one of the best websites I have seen.
